ii. Work in Process = $7,500

iii. Finished Goods = $20,250

= (8,000 - 7,600) × $10

= $4,000

b) work in process is - 90% were completed so 10% was left. 100 batteries were removed from the 7,600 batteries:-

= 7,500 batteries x $10 x 10%

= $7,500

c) Finished goods are - Unsold goods are 30%:-

= 7,500 batteries × $10 × 90% × 30%

= $20,250

d) cost of goods sold is - Sold goods were therefore 70%:-

= 7,500 batteries x $10 × 90% × 70%

= $47,250

e) selling expense is - 100 batteries used in sales staff cars:-

= 100 × $10

= $1,000.

i. Raw Materials = $4,000

ii. Work in Process = $7,500

iii. Finished Goods = $20,250

iv. Cost of Goods Sold = $47,250
